Verdict
It's impossible to make a confident selection in this opener and those with the best recent form have a wide draw to overcome. A chance is taken on CHEYENNE RED regardless as he scored over C&D from a wide berth on his latest start and has a leading amateur on board in Simon Walker. Welcome Approach was all out to score at Kempton last week and a penalty may scupper his chances, while Itsthursdayalready is returning from a four month absence. Blue Noodles and Young Simon are others to consider.
